'But I've never played with anal toy,' was the first thought that came into my head as I pursued Eden Fantasys one night, and yet I found myself starting at all the possibilities. I'm no stranger to anal sex but anal sex toys are something that, until this review, I had never dabbled in. All that I decided was about to change!

I decided to start simple and the Luv beads seemed to afford me that luxury, simple but I hoped easy to use and effective! I loved the look of these when they arrived at my doorstep, simple but pretty. The heart shaped beads intrigued me to say the least. As I wrestled them from the package and began to explore further I became even more excited at the thought of using these. They present me with everything I knew I would need for a good anal toy experience, softness but with a toughness that would please, and a flared handle that would be easy to grip a must for any type of anal play, because things have a habit of disappearing up there if you haven't got a decent grip. The only thing that was missing was some good old lube and this was easily remedied when I grabbed my favorite oil based lube, Yes!. Everything was ready for my first adventure into Hershey's Chocolate highway play!

These Luv beads measure in at 11” with around 9” of that length being insertable. Each bead is graduated in size, the first on in the string measures in at around 1/2" in diameter so not huge or to intimidating. I began my exploration into nether land by first applying my oil based lube liberally. I choose an oil based lube as these beads are not silicone which reacts badly with oil and silicone lubes, because it lasts much longer than water based, when practicing anal play. Neither your butt or mine is designed to have things placed in it and this is why flared bases and lube come into play. This doesn't mean we can't put things in there, or receive pleasure from the millions of nerve endings that are attached to our anus, it just means that we have to use common sense whenever we play anally. With this in mind I liberally applied lube to both my butt and the beads themselves before I began inserting them, which turned out to be both easy and very pleasurable.

There are 6 beads, which although they are made from a soft gel, felt more like a lighter weight plastic to me. they are held together by a strand of plastic, what I really like, is the fact that the material, has a rigidity to it, whilst at the same time is pliable enough to allow for easy maneuverability. These were not hard to insert, as long as I took it slowly, and boy, oh boy did they feel good! I managed to devour all six beads and love every minute of it.

Now they were all safely in place the real fun began as I pulled them out gently, one by one, holy sh**t was it a good feeling! Not enough to make me orgasm alone, but good neither the less. At this point and some practice I was getting pretty accomplished at pulling the beads out and feeding them back in and decided that I needed some clit action. The combination of sensations was explosive to say the very least!

Since that first test I have convinced Hubby to join me in my anal explorations and he has began to love these beads as well. He likes the feeling of control as he gets to feed them in or out of me and because he is in control, my hands are free to explore other areas of his or my own anatomy. To date I have not been able to get him to explore his own butt but we are working on that one, so to speak...
